After weeks of below-freezing weather, snow-covered sidewalks and slush-lined streets around Indianapolis could melt this week as temperatures climb into the upper 30s and 40s and, for the most part, remain there.
Meteorologists with the local National Weather Service predict milder temperatures starting Monday in Central Indiana before rain and (yes) a chance of snow returns in the forecast just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Here’s a quick look at Central Indiana’s weather this week.
When will temperatures get above freezing in Indianapolis? Soon, but snow could return
Temperatures across Central Indiana are expected to climb as high as 37 degrees Monday, Feb. 9, then higher Tuesday, reaching into the mid-40s and 50s, according to NWS. A chance for snow, however, exists Thursday and Friday.
Meteorologists in a Monday social media post also warned warming conditions could lead to an increased threat of ice jams — when large chunks of broken ice block the flow of rivers — that could cause localized flooding.
What’s the Valentine’s Day forecast in Indianapolis, Indiana?

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — 45 employees and guests were forced to evacuate Sullivan’s Steakhouse on East 86th Street late Saturday night, which is right next to The Fashion Mall at Keystone.
According to a social media post from the Indianapolis Fire Department, just after 10 p.m., a fire broke out inside the kitchen exhaust hood system and spread to the roof.
Multiple 911 callers reported flames on the roof and the fire was marked as working while IFD crews were en route.
Firefighters say the aggressive fire was under control in 26 minutes.
Thankfully, no was one injured.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man is dead, and a suspect has been detained following a shooting on Indy’s far east side.
The shooting took place around midnight Sunday near the intersection of East 10th Street and Shadeland Avenue.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers arrived at the scene and found a man with multiple gunshot wounds. Medics rushed him to a hospital, where he later died.
Investigators say they believe it started as an altercation in the parking lot of a business before the shooting happened.
The suspect stayed on the scene and was later detained. IMPD says they located a gun in the suspect’s car.
IMPD Capt. John Arvin told media at the scene, “It’s Mother’s Day. Here’s the tragedy. A mother is going to get a knock on the door this morning that her son is dead. For the rest of her life, every Mother’s Day, she’s going to remember that’s the day my son died.
“That just makes this a senseless tragedy. We have no idea what the fight was over, what led to the shooting, but whatever it was, does it lead to someone’s mother knowing for the rest of her life my son died on mothers day. That’s just tragedy.”
Police say many of the surrounding businesses have security cameras, and they will contact them today to review the footage as part of the investigation.
